About Toward a More Perfect Faith: 4 Stages in Your Pursuit of God

There has hardly ever been in my ministry a series of sermons to which I have given more time, more pain and more prayer than I did to this series from Philippians 3.

A. W. Tozer called these sermons the most important he ever preached. Looking closely at Philippians 3, he describes the Christian as a modern-day Lazarus who hears the call to arise—but can't escape the grave clothes. In this new series of sermon transcriptions, Tozer shows us how to live with freedom.

Toward a Deeper Faith gives us Tozer’s sermons on:

• Considering Perfection in the Christian Life

• Four Kinds of Christians

• Discovering the Loveliness of Jesus Christ

• The Will of God and Its Relationship to Our Cross

• The Obstacle of Self Trust

• Living in His Righteousness . . . and more.

We are heirs to the King, and Tozer wants us to reclaim our heritage. Return again and again to Tozer’s twelve sermons that will bring you into a deeper life of love and maturity in Jesus Christ.
